Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. It explains how we collect and use personal data when you visit this website or interact with our services.

This Privacy Policy applies to scottrobson.net and any related pages, forms, and services that link to it, including our newsletter, coaching enquiries, and the Adaptotype Quiz.
3. Personal data we collect
We collect personal data that you provide directly, and some data that is collected automatically when you use the website.
A. Data you provide to us
Contact details: name, email address (for newsletter sign-up, enquiries, quiz delivery, and coaching-related communications).

Adaptotype Quiz data: quiz responses, result, and email address, where you submit them to receive results and follow-up resources.
B. Data collected automatically
Technical and usage data: IP address, device information, browser type, pages viewed, referring pages, and approximate location derived from IP (where available).
Cookies and similar technologies: used for essential site operation and, where you consent, analytics and advertising.
4. Why we collect personal data and our legal bases
We process personal data under the GDPR using one or more of the following legal bases:
Contract: to provide paid services, deliver purchased products, and administer your access.
Consent: for marketing emails (newsletter), and for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies (such as analytics and advertising cookies), where required.
Legitimate interests: to run and secure our business, respond to enquiries, prevent fraud, maintain site reliability, and improve services (only where our legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights).
Legal obligation: to comply with tax, accounting, and other legal requirements.
Irish and EU regulators expect transparency about these legal bases and the information we provide in this Policy is intended to meet that standard.
5. Marketing emails
If you sign up for our newsletter or otherwise opt in to receive marketing communications, we may send you emails with coaching-related content, updates, and offers.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting sr@scottrobson.net. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing before you withdrew it.
6. Cookies, analytics, and advertising
A. Essential cookies
We use essential cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly. These cookies do not require consent.
B. Non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising)
We use non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, only after you provide consent through our cookie banner or consent preferences. Prior consent is required for these cookies under applicable EU law.
We use a consent management platform to obtain and manage your consent. Analytics and advertising cookies are activated only after you choose to accept them. You may refuse non-essential cookies and continue to use the Website.
You may withdraw or adjust your preferences at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link on this Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
You can also manage certain cookie preferences through your browser settings, although this may affect how the Website functions.
7. How we use your information
We use personal data to:
Provide services and deliver products you request
Deliver quiz results and related resources
Respond to enquiries
Process payments and manage billing
Send newsletters and marketing communications where you opt in
Operate, secure, and improve the website
Measure marketing performance where you consent to advertising cookies or tags
8. Sharing your data
We share personal data only when necessary for business operations, including with:
Email marketing providers (for example, Kit) to send newsletters and deliver quiz results and resources
Hosting and website service providers
Analytics and advertising providers where you consent
Payment processors (for example, Stripe, PayPal) for payment processing
Professional advisers (accountants, legal advisers) where needed
Authorities where required by law
9. International data transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States.
When personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards under GDPR Chapter V, such as Standard Contractual Clauses and other approved mechanisms, where applicable. EU guidance describes these transfer tools and requirements.
You can contact us to ask for further information about the safeguards used for particular transfers.
10. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Examples:
Coaching and enquiry communications: retained as needed to manage the relationship and for business records.
Quiz data: retained until you request deletion, unless we need to retain limited records for legal or compliance reasons.
Accounting and transaction records: generally retained for the period required by Irish tax and accounting obligations.

12. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a personal data breach that triggers a notification obligation, we will act without undue delay and in line with applicable requirements.
